Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at List of awards and nominations received by Nirvana, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Robvanvee 08:44, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did on Rammstein. This violates Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Robvanvee 16:47, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Smash Hits awards

[edit]

I think you are going to have great difficulty convincing other editors that awards such as the Smash Hits "Tragic Haircut", or "Biggest Prat Of The Year" award is notable, especially if it's either unsourced or cited to some unknown individual's personal website. "Negative awards" are not held in high regard around Wikipedia, and shouldn't be used unless reference in reliable secondary sources. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 22:47, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from The Fashion Awards into List of awards and nominations received by FKA Twigs. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at List of awards and nominations received by Charli XCX. Robvanvee 17:00, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing

[edit]

I've asked nicely but I see you somehow feel this policy doesn't apply to you. If you continue to add unsourced awards/nominations to articles I'll be taking this to ANI. Robvanvee 17:04, 15 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ANI-notice

[edit]

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Robvanvee 12:53, 1 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
